James Talarico spoke out on Fox News about GOP redistricting efforts: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?”

The ONLY reason he came up with an outlandish conspiracy theory and secret meetings between Jack Smith and Fani Willis is exactly because that is what he would do himself. Every accusation is an admission.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

No money for healthcare but plenty of money for government sponsored illegal campaign adds. They think we all are too stupid to notice.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER caught a career break when LUCILLE BALL gave him a part in ‘Happy Anniversary And Goodbye’ (1974). This led to Bob Rafelson offering him the part that got his Movie career going in ‘Stay Hungry’ (1976) - which earnt him a Golden Globe Award and put him on the Hollywood map.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

I would prefer my politicians to be principled over being centrist. The center moves and is vague. Principles can be elucidated. I don't even need to agree with all of them. I just want politicians to have some.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Significant news for breast cancer care! A new daily pill, Etcamah, helps advanced patients resistant to standard hormone therapy. They gained ~7 months before cancer worsened – like an entire summer & fall with family. This is real hope.

Trump's performance tonight in North Carolina is a disgrace and the crowd isn't into it at all, but you could've said the same thing about innumerable rallies of his in 2024 and then 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. I hope we're smarter now!
